once again

once again i think i am going to write regularly. but i don't. i started working at our church part time, i am in government, and cliff is getting ready to go back to work full time. i'm exhausted! i do love my life!!! God is good! He is the same today as he was in the beginning, and will be the same tomorrow! I think that is hard for us to wrap our minds around. some days we are tired, some are great, some are sad and depressed. He is always the same!

Tragic....

Just visited a friend from Grace Bible Church in the hospital. Late last week, at night, two soldiers from her husbands unit came to their house demanding tvs and guns. Her husband said no and was shot in the chest with a shotgun. Then they shot her, in the shoulder. She is 25 weeks pregnant.

She seemed to be doing reasonable well considering..........................

Has last surgery, of 3, tomorrow. Should be out of the hospital on Sunday. Memorial Service Monday, then she is moving back to North Carolina with her parents. She is hoping for a healthy baby girl!

unapologetically..............

when you write things down on a to-do list it gives you motivation. the best feeling in the world is when all the items have been crossed off!

awakening

the doors open,
the lights come on,
people begin milling about,
but not hurrying.

some rooms are dark,
the gates are down,
people say hello,
good morning.

set a pace.
several times.
follow the patterns.

more and more.
lights coming on,
people coming in.

awakening.

the mall is like a giant factory.
each part counts.
each part with it's own goals.
but each piece fitting between the others.

City on Our Knees by Toby Mac

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all up tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

If you gotta start somewhere why not here
If you gotta start sometime why not now
If we gotta start somewhere I say here
If we gotta start sometime I say now
Through the fog there is hope in the distance
From cathedrals to third world missions
Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave

Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide in a beautiful display
It’s all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh-oh-oh

Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
Tonight could last forever
Ooh
Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
As family
We’re family
Oh Tonight could last forever
We are one choice from together
You and me
Ya, you and me
Tonight’s the night
For the sinners and the saints
Two worlds collide
In a glorious display
Cuz its all love tonight
When we step across the line
We can sail across the sea
To a city with one king
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
A city on our knees
A city on our knees
Oh oh oh
If we gotta start somewhere why not here
If we gotta start sometime why not now
